DeAR-GP (Dementia Assessment Referral to GP)

April 1 2016

DeAR–GP, developed by the South London Health Innovation Network, is a simple paper based case-finding tool which has been designed for use by care workers to identify people who are showing signs of dementia.

DeAR–GP acts as a communication between care workers and health professionals providing the results of a brief cognitive test. A diagnosis will aid the understanding of care workers and family members and friends, leading to better care and support of the person with dementia.
